The 9th China-Japan Bilateral Symposium on High Temperature Strength of Materials will be held at Changsha, China, during the period of October 16-20, 2016. The symposium series was initiated by the High Temperature Strength and Materials Committee, the Society of Materials, Chinese Mechanical Engineering Society and the Committee on High Temperature Strength of Materials, the Society of Materials Science Japan. This Symposium is a sequel to the successful meetings of the 1st China-Japan Bilateral Symposium held in Luoyang, China, 1992; the 2nd bilateral Symposium held in Nagaoka, Japan, 1995; the 3rd held in Nanjing, China, 1998; 4th in Tsukuba, Japan, 2001; 5th held in Xi’an, China, 2004; 6th in Sendai, Japan, 2007; 7th held in Dalian, China, 2010 and 8th held in Asahikawa, Japan, 2013. The purpose is intended to promote academic and technical exchange between Chinese and Japanese scientists, engineers and to strengthen the technical contacts in the field of high temperature strength of materials between the two nearby countries. The main theme of this symposium includes: High Temperature Deformation and Fracture Mechanisms, Deformation and Fracture of Advanced High Temperature Materials, High Temperature Strength of Electronic Materials, Experimentation at High Temperature Creep and Fatigue Interaction, Defect Assessment and Life Prediction of High Temperature Materials and Components, Small Sample Test Technique, etc.
